TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Three school records crumbled as the Bulldogs took on day two of the Crimson Tide Invitational.

The first record to fall came as the NCAA leader in the high jump, Logan Boss, successfully cleared 1.89m. She bested the previous school record of 1.87m, held by fellow All-American Erica Bougard. The victory was the second of the outdoor season for Boss in as many events.

10685 — Logan Boss set a school record at 1.89m in the high jump

MSU broke two school records in the triple jump, and finished one and two while they were at it. Tiffany Flynn obliterated her school own record in the event, leaping 13.33m in a victory. Alexis Farley grabbed second and the program's freshman record after jumping 12.65m.

Romain Bourreau grabbed a second place finish on the men's side of the triple jump after leaping 15.13m. In the 200m dash, MSU had two runners pick up top five finishes in Stephan James (4^th, 21.31) and Philip Smith (5^th, 21.41). Rasheed Tatham finished third in the 400m hurdle after running 52.50.

The men's 4x100m relay team of Ro'Derick Spears, Philip Smith, Lawrence Crawford and Stephan James ran 40.14 and picked up second place.

10686 — Keturah Smith grabbed a third place finish in the 400m dash

"I am really proud of Logan, Tiffany and Alexis," MSU coach Steve Dudley said. "Any meet where we set a school record is a good one, and to come out here and grab three shows how much we are improving from week to week. We had great performances all across the board, and I think this is really going to be a great building block for us the rest of the season."
